Waterfront Concerts announced on Monday that Irish singer-songwriter Niall Horan has added a Bangor stop on his “The Show” tour for 2024 at the Maine Savings Amphitheater.
Horan, formerly a member of wildly popular boy band One Direction, will perform in Bangor on Wednesday, June 19, 2024. Tickets for the show, available via Ticketmaster, go on sale May 30, 2023.
Horan burst on the scene alongside his bandmates in One Direction — Harry Styles, Zayn Malik, Liam Payne and Louis Tomlinson — in 2010.
